Hotel Information
Primary Hotel *Now Full*
Once again the official hotel for Animazement is the Raleigh Marriott® City Center.

Reservation Notes
- Be sure you understand the difference between “guaranteed” and “requested” when you make a request for a type of room and what appears on your final confirmation email. If you are guaranteed a double room then most likely that is what you will get at check-in. However, if your reservation confirmation indicates “requested” it means that as long as doubles are available you’ll get one, but if not, you’ll get a King. The hotel has a mix of double and King bed rooms, so not everyone will get the type of room requested. The earlier you check in, the better the chances are of getting what you requested. If you can’t get a double bed room you might want to request a rollaway bed (additional fee) just in case.
- Regardless of how you make your reservation, the hotel requires the use of a credit/debit card to hold your room.
- If a parent, friend, or some other third party will be paying for your room at check-out, please download and complete this Marriott form along with a copy of the cardholder’s drivers license. Then either fax it in or have it with you at check-in along with the drivers license copy. It will save you a lot of time and trouble if you complete this in advance.
- If you use a debit card at check-in (not when you make the reservation) hotels typically will immediately debit at check-in the total dollar amount of room, tax, and an incidental amount for each night of your stay. Any amount that is authorized and not spent may take up to five business days or longer after your departure to release depending on your bank.
